Aside from the extensive standard equipment list, our test X1 has a few select options. The BMW Parking Package for $850 is, in my opinion, an absolute must. It adds front parking distance sensors, a reverse camera and exterior mirrors with anti-dazzle function. You could argue (with fair reason) that a reverse camera should be standard equipment at the premium end of any sector, but at $850, this option package isn’t offensively priced and is non-negotiable for me.
There's also the interior package that adds aluminium accentuated interior trim with black high-gloss accents for $346. These details are attractive and give the interior a marginally more luxurious and premium feel, but they aren'€™t a deal breaker.
The BMW '€˜Sport Line Package'€™, which costs $2307 is a little more expensive, but worth considering. Opt for the Sport Line and you get attractive 18-inch alloy wheels, ambience lighting, BMW Individual roof rails, high gloss shadow line, BMW Sports Seats, door sill finishers with BMW Sport designation, exterior elements in black high-gloss, black chrome exhaust tailpipe finisher, velour floor mats with red piping, interior lighting that is switchable between orange and white, and a sport leather steering wheel with red contrast stitching. Again, this pack is not a deal breaker by any means, but its a significant factor in making our test vehicle look as stylish as it does, especially from the exterior.
The interior is also enhanced by the optional Sport Line pack, especially the seats, which are supportive and comfortable. Visibility is excellent and the seats afford extensive adjustment up/down and fore/aft. I appreciated the high riding hatch feel to the driving position, coupled with the ability to lower the seat down into the cabin. Every major control is visible too no matter where you set the seat to suit your driving position.
